Summer camps, grants and PD: district outlines summer programming and fall training
Summary
The district reviewed summer-school sites and programs (reading camps, extended‑year programs, a multilingual-learner camp and arts programs) and previewed large professional-development sessions led by district teachers rather than outside consultants.
The district summarized its summer offerings: summer school sites at multiple schools supported reading camps and extended-year programs for qualifying students; a multilingual-learner camp at Kensington served 21 students; fine-arts camps reported 24 art students, 27 in drama and 19 in music. The presentation also noted a Palmetto math grant supported summer math instruction.
District leaders described an expanded professional-development model in which district teachers would present sessions across two teacher-focused days before school, replacing many outside consultants. The superintendent said the goal is to grow leaders internally and provide dozens of targeted PD sessions to prepare teachers for the year.
